Drove it when I dated my wife over 35 years ago- she married me anyway. Like to have the truck going for our 35th in mid-September. Right now it's on jack-stands awaiting a pacer ifs I am just finishing. Have a mid nineties 8.8 Explorer rear end ready to install. Like to keep it inline 6; have 2 228s; one is tired, the other unknown. (I'd kinda like to use the old Wayne covers I've been holding onto for all these years) We'll see.
My background is mostly in education. I quit and built houses for 5 years with my son before the housing bubble collapsed a few years ago, worked for Oregon state parks at a logging museum as a curator for a couple of years but returned to education recently. Retirement is around the corner-probably this time next year when my youngest graduates.
I've read a lot of old stovebolt posts over the last couple of years and and figured I'd go ahead and join up. A lot of knowledge here. Probably can't add much in that department but perhaps I can ask some good questions.
Since I installed the Astro seat in the cab I find myself going out to the barn just to sit in the old pickup and think about stuff. Probably ought to get it running so my kids don't get worried about me. | | | | | Joined: May 2012 Posts: 256 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2012 Posts: 256 | Welcome to the Stove Bolt !!
you are correct lots of great knowledge and willing bodies to answer questions as well. May get lucky and find a few near by that would swing over to lend a hand as well.
take some pictures, post them up, share.

I'm all for the inline sixes, but trying to choose between a tired 228 and an unknown one is iffy. There's got to be a third option. Good luck with the ifs and the rest of the journey.
